I found this interesting: 'Over the course of the next few weeks, we will not only be launching our most comprehensive and formidable anti-bot update - which will permanently deal with all types of bots'.

Iirc this was said in March too lmao.

now I’m happy to report that we also have a dedicated Future Tech team working on bringing the game to your favourite tablets, platforms and even smart TVs in due course.

Got me excited.

yhea, can't wait to play rs on my vita :p
about the nuke, jacmob said it in march on his site, this is the first time mod mark confirming it :p

Nice read. Thanks, I'm looking forward to that HTML5 stuff and of course playing / Botting Rs on tablet :P

I gotta love how they had to think of this and had to question how should we introduce this in baby steps…

For example, we know that directly selling gold, XP or even accounts would generate between 10 to 15 times more revenue than Squeal or Solomon’s Store generates combined. However, we simply won’t do it, because we don’t believe it’s the right thing for the long-term health of the game.

It's all bullshit. I'd give this game another year before it starts losing it's players. You want real RS? 06scape is your last shot at legit RS glory.

Isn't the nuke called EOC?

What tablets do you think will RS acctually play better on?

^ It would be awesome to play it on the psvita, I have no idea how they gonna make that work though.

I had a iPad2 and I ended up selling it to wait for the new iPad but after I've seen some android devices come out that are perfect size & faster not to mention cheaper my idea of switching units is stronger then ever…. But I'll wait to buy a new pad until jagex releases what tablet will work and which will work best, etc.

:o playing it on a pad!! beauty hit me up haha

I can't imagine playing it on a tablet would be very fun using the touch screen controls. Maybe if you used a bluetooth controller with it - it might be SLIGHTLY better but..I don't know

you bring up a great question; is it possible to auto from a tablet? Will it ever be possible?

From: Jos3ph

OF COURSE! it would hardly be different. You can run java on a tablet. :P

touch screen's input can be simulated just like mouse gestures can be…

yes, if someone bothers to do client but its just easier and smarter to bot in computer so you shouldnt wait that

Now the question is; which tablet is the best to run RS on :P RS is opening an entire new world of gaming if they do this.

There are already loads of mmo's on the play store.

Just get a 2 cored tabled, and it will run fine. (I suggest the Galaxy tab 2 10.1.)

Botting agility as we speak. Getting my stats as high as I can before this "nuke".

Indeed, getting me a stack of cash first, and then going for an lvl 85 average.

Yeah me too, too bad I still need 10 Lvls for 99 but hopefully I get 92-94 before this "nuke"…cough ..cough..fake..cough..

This time they have Jacmob with them. It might actually work (at least for the injection bots), but it can't be permanent.

I'm rooting for a nuke. My heart sinks every time there is an update and I see that half of the online players are bots.

Bots have become a part of Runescape, players have got used to it, to a point at least.
I don't see how they will stop colour bots, although I'm looking forward to the goldfarming bots going down… for about a week.

I think they shouldn't have ever removed the trade limit. They don't need to find a physical prevention from bots, it's impossible with colour bots, as they are essentially a fair of eyes with a limited brain. What they need is a deterrent, something that actually makes people either want to play legitimately, or there being no purpose behind botting.

On the subject of them selling these spins for that wheel thing and that other shop, I personally think you should only be able to buy cosmetics, like WoW. Makes people jealous, and want things for themselves, brings more into the game. BUT it doesn't create an imbalance.

Where'd you get the last part from? That's not in the original article..

Anyways, I am looking forward to playing RS on other devices :D. Hopefully PS3's will be supported and maybe something for hi-end smartphones.

Am also looking forward to the HTML5 elements they hope to add to the game. The increased draw distance looks really good and will make the game seem more realistic. Hope all goes well! :)

Jagex will never take us down without going full out black-and-white-scape.

It is in the original article, I just copy pasted that sentence, so yhea

Truthfully speaking, I want a bot nuke. This way I can sell all my Cowhides, yew logs and Lobies!

Plus gold farming going down is a perk!

From: Footy

Doubt that would stop us, I've seen some model calculation using shapes and stuff (whoever did it was a rocket scientist obviously) but it worked well, a lot more complex no doubt

Why dont we do these crazy rockey science calculations to solve randoms then? Thats SRLs biggest weakness.

I know this isn't entirely on topic, but it references the talk about microtransactions, and a potential reason with why they can't sell gold.

They talk about not directly selling gold because it would damage the health of the game, but what if it's actually a legal reason? If you are buying direct cash, then I suppose you could go and gamble using some unofficial form of gambling (essentially something that isn't the SoF), which is gambling your own money effectively, and perhaps there are legal clauses preventing this?

Worth buying up all the resources possible? Or just another empty promise from Jagex?

Time 2 port Simba to your favorite tablets. ;)

Buuuuuuurrrrrrrnnnnnn!

(If he is right!)

^ They removed 'ALL bot types' which proofs they can't do much about color bots.

What tablets do you think will RS acctually play better on?

Probably still an ipad

1) html5 has the fullest and fastest support from webkit engine, what runs webkit? chrome & safari… ipads default browser? safari

2) android is quite bloated, sure they have tiny more ghz on their cores, that's needed because android really is a disgrace to linux if anything.

guess I didn't need to number because that's all I had to say

They said nuke would come before the end of July, and guess what, it's almost September. This isn't going to be a nuke, for sure. Maybe another thing to break java bots.

From: LemonHaze

The screen might be a bit small though =/ Unless they actually have the whole screen the mainscreen and then use buttons to access inventory. Not sure how well that would work though.

it would proply use all buttons or something similar

And the mouse would be jumping all over the place, so you wouldn't have to worry about mouse movement speeds etc.

Not just a 'tiny' more Ghz on their cores, but they have more cores. They even have more RAM than any iCrap products. Could Android be more organized? Sure. But it's not Android that's the problem. It's the companies who make the devices who don't know how to integrate it correctly (excluding Samsung).

Doesn't really matter though, because they struggle to run their own operating system where-as apple is over obsessed with fine tuning each OS to its specific hardware.. they damn well better have more ram, or else they would be swapping like no tomorrow .. android is the problem, google has shown that and already discussed that.. they also have to develop it like windows does so it works on 20000 different phones and all their programs work


even the ones with like 2x the hardware of a random ipad run like 10% better.. if apple were to put that much power on their ipads (which they should) they would destroy everything out, easily

also to be clear, I don't like apple (and don't like microsoft either.) I'm just speaking the truth.


If he does go android, a high GHz with good cache processor + dolphin browser he''ll prob get good performance
any other browser, I doubt it

Can't wait for the day when Jagex develops mad virtual gaming for RS, like in SAO! (Anime Reference)

Apple doesn't like Java at all xD I'm not sure if they support HTML5 though.

Apple the #1 supporter for html5, webkit engine is built by them, the same engine that chrome runs off of, safari and chrome have the best html5 support out of all browsers.

and apple hates flash & java, they're both crappy so I don't blame them

Yeah, I remember it originally being in the article. I love how this act pretty much confirms that color bots will be mostly unaffected by the nuke, if we didn't know that already.

The thing about color bots, especially the SRL include is.. the methods are how humans identify stuff, so honestly unless you make the game human proof.. there's not much chance to make it srl/simba proof

Indeed, we'll always read the screen as a human would. But if they're this confident of detecting bots perhaps it doesn't have to do with how we read the screen.

I made a post on Sythe before explaining possible detection methods that Jagex might use, and explaining why they would make sense in light of the recent info the Mods have been spreading around. You all can read it here if you'd like: http://www.sythe.org/showpost.php?p=11372174&postcount=5

^^ Great read Flight, you bring to light a few new questions that at this time no one can answer.

They are going to add "Jagex Account Guard"… Why, oh why have I spent 100M on the damn Keylogger… I knew I will regret it..

Thanks :P but actually I have a bit over 120m, 70m of it I don't use. If mills will go up in price, I'll probably sell them.
